Kate Steinle was murdered by an illegal immigrant that had no business being in the United States in the first place. The least that her family could get back was justice. But that failed to happen when the verdict was read that he was innocent of the murder charges before him.

The man himself admitted to killing her after it happened. But our justice system has failed the entire family once again. Now Trump’s Department of Justice is going to get involved. Jeff Sessions just announced new charges against Jose Garcia Zarate, the man responsible for the murder of Steinle.

Though he will get away with the murder charges, the DOJ will make sure he does his time. They have slapped down additional weapon and immigration charges in an effort to get justice.

If he is found guilty of these charges, he could face an addition 10 years behind bars, on top of the 3 years he is already facing.

Though this is not ideal, double jeopardy prevents anyone from doing anything better. Hopefully this man will get what he deserves.
